Switzerland just wouldn’t be Switzerland without swans. I hear they are mean.
I love that lion! And the mural! And the buildings… Sigh. Thanks for the vicarious trip!
You look so cute!
Beautiful photos – thanks for sharing them!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Lovely photos! I have that dress in black and slate…
Please take me with you the next time you go.

What a lovely place to live (and visit). Switzerland is now on my list of places to visit when I am not pregnant or have children under age 5 with me.
That lion! Incredible.
I happened to be in Lucerne when I turned 16. These pictures are making me really nostalgic.

Oh wow, I visited Lucerne about 20 years ago, I’d forgotten how beautiful it was in the mountains…and yes, a very sad lion.
